Siracusa and Ortygia
Today is a beautiful day in Siracusa - a little chilly but that is good for all the walking and climbing steps that we did. If we had posted any pics from yesterday they would have been a big square of gray. It was just miserable yesterday. Even if you tried to carry an umbrella, it was turned inside out by the wind. Today we saw countless umbrellas lying broken on the sidewalks. We did a little exploring yesterday but came back to the room soaked and chilled. We ended up watching Peter Pan, the movie, in Italian. The hotel is one of those old, 18ft ceilings, spare, marble/tile buildings so we never quite warmed up. We couldn't figure out the buses (yet) so even though we had bought tickets -today- we still ended up walking from the island of ortygia (where we are staying) to the Greek Theatre and Roman Theatre ruins, and the Archeological Museum that are all across town.
